I was dealing with him for a script on AGS via discord. Everything went well until today, when it seems that his account has been hacked for a few weeks. Since I thought he was trustworthy and he's a dev, I was fooled.
I think this hacker who stole his account is really going to wreak havoc... be careful!
If you meet him on Discord or elsewhere and he asks you to install a 2D pixel art game to test it...don't be fooled.

This is my 3rd point and click game that I'm currently developing with AGS 3.6 for Windows PC.


I'm still working as an independent solo developer on a crazy point-and-click game.
This time you control two characters who often come into conflict with each other because of their opposing characters, which doesn't make the police investigation into which these two detectives are plunged any easier.

The Police Captain has entrusted this duo of detectives, Magret the refined duck and FaceDebouc the boorish goat, with the investigation into the crime of Mr Couane, a pig trader cut up into pieces and turned into sausage...


It's a police investigation where you have to find clues, question witnesses, interrogate suspects and solve puzzles...
The game is expected to last between 4 and 6 hours.


The game, native in French, should have a minimal translation into English and German by AI (Googletranslate/chatGPT) (because the game's kickstarter page is not turning over enough funds to hire English/German voice actors and English/German translators for this game made in French with French voices).

Hello !
I invite you to discover the complete solution (Walkthrough) of my point and click game Grandma Badass made with AGS.
It's here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2907103784

This game may never be presented at this year's AGS awards because no one seems to want to vote for it on its page https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2649-grandma-badass/       but a demo is available on Steam so you can use this solution to play it.

Best wishes to all for 2023 and enjoy the game !

[4 years of development on AGS]

Hello !
After 4 years of development on AGS, I'm happy to announce that my point and click game Grandma Badass final and complete version is officially released on Steam since late November 2022.



Started in January 2019, this game is finally completed and I can now move on, although I'm struggling to make it known (marketing budget = the same as the budget during the game = 0 $/€).
While the feedback from players (you can see it in the comments/critiques) on Steam is all positive.







It offers a totally crazy adventure, which lasts between 8 and 10 hours of play depending on its point and click level (see 6-7 for experts).

Released as episode 1 in September 2021, all players who trusted this project at the time by buying the game, have seen the full version replace the episode directly on Steam.
But releasing it as an episode a year ago was a fatal mistake as it no longer enjoyed Steam's coverage as a new release, being considered old when it was released...
Any advice? Never release your complete game by episode (unless you plan to make dlc to a base game)

THE TRAILER

As for the rest, it's a point and click game totally made on AGS, which has its own demo, an ArtBook and even the soundtrack totally free for all on the shop page.

✍️immersive storyline
🤪Crazy adventure and characters
🧩logic puzzles
🎨fun and cartoony graphics
↖️traditional point and click

Game in UK / FR / DE / ES / IT

I would also like to thank all those who have helped in this forum, in any way, during the development of this game and thank in advance those who will talk about this game around them because the only way it has to find its players is by word of mouth.

GRANDMA BADASS (FREE DEMO AND FULL GAME) AVAILABLE ON STEAM HERE : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1606640

I'd really like to get your feedback (the demo is free) and submit it to the AGS Awards but I don't know if it still exists and where to apply. 


Thank you in advance!

Hi there.
I've been using the beta 6 version for several months and everything was working.
But for a few days, the ShakeScreen and ShakeScreenBackground functions are no longer active at all, whereas everything was working correctly in my game a few weeks ago.
I downloaded and installed the latest AGS Editor .NET version (Build 3.6.0.33) ** BETA VERSION ** and nothing changes.

Nothing happens now when we use ShakeScreen and ShakeScreenBackground in our game.
Do you have the same issue on your side?
________________
To give me the information, nothing very complicated: if you are using the beta 6 version of AGS, open a blank room, put the code "ShakeScreenBackground (5, 5, 900); " and tell me if your screen shakes or not...

function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
ShakeScreenBackground (5, 5, 900) ;
}



Thanks in advance

Hello!
Steam has just announced the release of its Steam Deck console.
https://www.steamdeck.com/fr/

I don't think anyone missed it.
I think this is great news for the world of indie game developers.

Okay now we'll have to see how to configure all this on AGS for buttons etc.
What do you think of this console on your side?

https://twitter.com/Steam/status/1415718021469925378

FOR DEV : https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck?language=english

On the other hand, the bad news: it seems that it is only Linux games that run on it ...
and I rarely had the opportunity to run a game compiled in LINUX under AGS on my side ...
https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/proton

To celebrate the release of my point and click GrandMa Badass (episode 1), and while waiting for the demo available during the day, I invite you to turn up the volume and try to follow the choreography of GrandMa !!!
Have a lovely day everybody !

[Do you think that one day we will have the chance to see a game made on AGS able to be ported to Windows Store?]

Good morning all.

I would just like to ask a question that is likely to remain unanswered but this is my first question of the year ...

Do you think that one day we will have the chance to see a game made on AGS able to be ported to Windows Store?

I was a little interested in the Microsoft SDK, in an msix/msixbundle compilation of my exe but obviously, no ags file turns into a compatible installation file to be only uploaded to the Microsfot store ... is not my specific domain so I struggled and gave up but if ever someone had a solution to be able to allow an AGS game to be published or compatible on Windows Store (like for Unity) and even more to be adaptable for Xbox live ... I'm a taker ... as certainly almost all the dev here

Best wishes for 2021!
Mine will be to see one day AGS games be able to join the Windows Store, although having searched for these terms on this forum tells me that no one seems interested in this option, or that everyone seems resolved never to see this possible ...
and if it is this last option that remains ... why should it be impossible if the cause is already doomed to failure?

I think a lot of the developers here would love to see this possible ... but is it a dream come true or a Utopia?

Thank you in advance for your information or advice and have a nice game on my last free products GrandMa !

[I present to you my second game.]

Hello !
I present to you my second game.

This is a pilot episode of a point and click adventure entirely carried out under AGS, with Grandma and her black cat Marius ...

A very short game that can be completed in 30 minutes maximum.
The complete scenario is in place, but I do not yet know if I will do the second ...
please players ... it is very likely ...
If everyone does not care ... it will only remain the pilot stage
Logic...

There are 3 hidden achievements to unlock in this episode ... it's up to you to find them!

Good game !

[3 GEEKS]

Hello
I'm proud to announce the release of the adventure game point and click 3 geeks !
IN ENGLISH AND IN FRENCH !



The game is on sale on itch.io and Gamejolt for the moment but a free demo version of the complete Chapter 1 is available for Windows at the bottom of the game card at: https://adipson.itch.io/3-geeks

3 GEEKS

A post-nuclear adventure in which you control three neurotic geeks who've escaped from a madhouse.

DOWNLOAD THE FREE DEMO HERE : https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2320/



Synopsis:

Rodolphe Wallace, a 30-year-old unemployed inventor, finds himself plunged into a crazy and incredible adventure with his two friends: Cyprien Karanoff, a neurotic neat-freak; and Luc Vega, a bipolar, impulsive geek with only four seconds of active memory. To escape from the madhouse in which they've been locked up for a year, the three companions hide aboard a space shuttle that sends them into orbit around Earth, allowing them to avoid a nuclear apocalypse caused by Nathanael, a maniac who wanted to avenge his goat who died from human pollution.

Five years later, the shuttle automatically returns to the partially irradiated Earth and deposits the three madmen in a desert near a post-nuclear town called Ragoon City. And then the adventure really begins...





Features:

-Go on an exciting adventure with crazy characters (references to French cult comedies unavoidable).

-Control three characters who have very different personalities: a pretentious, grumpy, unemployed inventor; a neurotic, germophobic chemist with tics; and a bipolar, impulsive geek with only four seconds of active memory.

-Solve balanced puzzles, neither too difficult nor too easy. Your notebook will help you keep track of your objectives.

-An easy-to-use interface lets you save the game anytime and configure the game options.

-Four chapters with at least six hours of gameplay, depending on your experience with point-and-click adventure games.

-Neat, cartoon-y graphics and a plot that will make you want to keep on playing.

-HD graphics and options for other resolutions. Play full screen or windowed.

-A humorous point-and-click adventure reminiscent of Day of the Tentacle and Monkey Island but with the French touch from Adipson Studio.

-Game available for Windows in French (default version) and English.



Linux Version?

A version of Linux is in study but not really certain so far, because in the test phase, the verison compiled having some problems with me on Ubuntu at the level of sound and therefore not certain that the game runs correctly on Linux. A post exists on this subject and if you use Linux, I invite you to participate: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=56772.msg636600404#msg636600404 (demo of the game under Linux in the post)

Hello everyone.
I just looped my point and click ags and everything works fine (created from Windows 10 with latest version of AGS). File compiled on Windows and operational game. However, I wanted to compile it for LINUX at the same time.

So I installed the latest Ubuntu on my workstation and launched the game compiled on Linux (test version on the pc) and it works apart from the sound. No sound, no music. I do not know Linux at all and do not know if it comes from a misconfiguration of my pc, the OS ? (I have sound for music players, videos etc on the OS)

In short, the simplest question is:
when you compile the game under Linux, is it 100% functional on the Linux OS?

Thank you for your answers

[PRESENTATION OF 3 GEEKS]

Hello !
I present you my very first games under AGS (under construction since 2012!)
Unfortunately, having a level of English in school, I can not at the moment offer it translated version in your language and it is therefore in my natural language (French).

I am actively seeking an English-to-French translator to correct / translate the translation file passed by Google translate but it is not an easy task to find a person able to master both English and French in our country.
If someone feels an attack, I propose to send him the txt file to translate from FR to UK so that he tells me for example its price.

Otherwise, and the game will only come out on France ...
__________________________________________________________________
Hello !
Je vous présente mon tout premier jeux sous AGS (en chantier depuis 2012 !)
Malheureusement, ayant un niveau d'anglais scolaire, je ne peux pas pour le moment le proposer en version traduite dans votre langue et il est donc dans ma langue naturelle (Français).

Je cherche activement un traducteur Anglais-Français pour corriger/traduire le fichier de traduction passé par Google translate mais ce n'est pas une mince affaire pour trouver une personne capable de maîtriser à  la fois l'anglais et le français dans notre pays.
Si quelqu'un se sent d'attaque, je propose de lui communiquer le fichier txt a traduire de FR à  UK afin qu'il me dise par exemple son prix.

Sinon, et bien le jeu ne sortira que sur la France...

PRESENTATION OF 3 GEEKS

Synopsis
Rodolphe Wallace, a 30-year-old unemployed inventor, will find himself plunged into a crazy and incredible adventure with his two friends Cyprien Karanoff, neurotic maniac cleanliness and Luc Vega, bipolar impulsive with only 4 seconds of active memory. While he helps them to escape from a madhouse in which they were locked up for 1 year, the 3 companions will hide aboard a space shuttle that will then send them into orbit around the Earth, allowing them at the same time to escape an end of the world caused by the explosion of several nuclear bombs caused by Nathanael, a guru who wanted to avenge the death of his goat smothered by pollution and incivism of the human race ...

But 5 years later, the shuttle SPIKNOUT which shelters our 3 madmen, initiates an automatic return on the partially irradiated planet. They then spit in a desert, near a new post-nuclear town called Ragoon City ... and the adventure then really begins ...





We control in this game the 3 characters in turn over an adventure that is built on 4 chapters. (about 6 to 8 hours of play).
Rodolphe is a 30-year-old inventor who has been unemployed for many years.

Cyprien is a neurotic with tocs. A hygiene maniac who is obsessing about cleanliness.

Luc is a forty-something impulsive quarantine with 4 seconds of active memory, and former hacker of the era of Atari and Commodore 64 ...

First of all, I apologize for my English schoolboy rather often obliges me to go through google translation!
I participated this weekend in the Ludum Dare 35 with AGS and a little point and click and I'm surprised there is not much to code ags in this contest ... normal on the other side .. a point and click in 48 or 72 hours is not really an option.

But I still made a small set of 3 scenes to put some ags filled in Ludum Dare other than Unity or Game Maker!



Occasionally, if you have a wordpress account, I have nothing against your encourragements and your votes!
